I finally have the studio versions of the Top 4 online. Only 1 song for each contestant this week was released to iTunes. These are for listening to only. You can’t download them from the site. If you like them then please support the contestants and idolbloglive by purchasing them through iTunes.
All The Songs Are After the Jump.
Jason Castro was by FAR the best of this group. It’s a shame he was voted him because he has a highly emotive voice, without excess (Archie), his phrasing is near perfect, unlike Archie who hasn’t a clue on how to work a song into a meaningful experience. Of all the contestants Castro is the only one who truly connects to the song. Bravo!
I’ve heard better. I don’t mean to sound whiny but the singles are getting boring. They all sound good but aside from Jason, they all picked the wrong songs. Wolf over Baba? Love Me Tender over Stand By Me? Oh, and I didn’t like Proud Mary at all.
I loved Jason’s Tambourine Man. I’ve been singing it all day. I miss the dreads.
Tambo man, “sing along” last vs. only, Click on the track first!!!
Then take me dissapearin’ thru the smoke rings of my mind/Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted frightend trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow./ Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silloetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today untill tomorrow
Hey mister tamborine man, play a song for me, Im not sleepy and there is no place Im goin’ to/ Hey mister tamborine man play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle mornin’ I’ll come followin’you.
